Hi Haseeb this image has a WOW factor to me ....... and definitely a very BIG one .
Love the overall scene , tone and colors . In a really perfect world i would have loved the sun bigger or the subject smaller for fully being in the sun ......... but that is just a wish :bg3:
The only crit i have is the comp ..... look at my RP what i think where it needs to be .
BTW did you get along with my files yet ?
Great work Haseeb and TFS Andreas

Hi Haseeb - Thanks for the info about the Red List status. As soon as I opened this I said half of the fg needs to go and then I scrolled down and saw that Andreas thought the same. It definitely strengthens an already excellent image. Well seen and executed.
TFS,
Rachel

Stunning image Hasseb! Looks better with the foreground cropped. Love the vivid color and silhouette.

Very cool image indeed. I'd love to have the sun and the wilds more separated, but this is a very cool image. Loi
